Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita makes this immortal promise: “Even a little practice of this (meditation and right attitude) will free one from dire fears and colossal sufferings.”

Swami Kriyananda would sometimes give this counsel: Take your worst fear and imagine the worst possible outcome, including death itself. Do this as a kind of creative visualization. See if in your mental exercise you can face the worst case. If you can calmly do so internally you may well find that in reality you can handle just about anything.
